Amaia Aberasturi plays the role of Zoa in a very sober (pun intended) way, but the storyline written for her isn’t good. While plenty of kids, who have parents with addiction issues, do end up having the same battles, they begin by introducing Zoa as being different. To be clear, I have no issue with the actors at all. So, the responsible (somewhat and supposedly, anyway) older sister, who has a mom with serious addiction issues, abandons all to go party?! Just after receiving the news that her mom is yet again out of rehab and ready to be a parent. Especially because the girl we follow, Zoa, leaves her 15-year-old little sister on her own as she goes to find happiness at a party island. Yeah, I’m not really impressed by any aspect of the plot. It’s also about being handpicked for a special new life (*cough* in a cult *cough*) and falling in love.
WRONG TURN 5 FULL MOVIE IN SPANISH SERIES
However, obviously, this Spanish-language Netflix series isn’t just about partying. Am I being too harsh?! Based on the storyline in Welcome to Eden, I don’t think so. Just because they still dream about going to Paradise Hotel themselves. It feels like this series was written by adults who figure that this is what the silly young kids of today want. And fast!īasically, the teens in this series really are too young to reason. That’s heading into substance abuse to cover your pain. Please, if you’re not happy, then being around lots of drunk people on some faraway island isn’t the cure. When this turns out to be an invitation to the “most exclusive party in history on a secret island, organized by the brand of a new drink”, this Netflix series has already lost me. These young people are then promised something that will make them happy. They receive a text message with the question “Are you happy?” which is an intriguing beginning. In Welcome to Eden, carefully selected (by way of their social media accounts) young people are suddenly contacted. At the same time, you’re also very quickly too old to dream about things that aren’t easily obtained.
Somehow, someone will always think you’re too young to know best. The specific lyrics are “Too young to reason, Too grown up to dream” and I feel like I can relate to this at any age. One of my all-time favorite song lyrics are from Bryan Ferry’s “Slave to Love”.
